2010 Map of Prairie Rose Lake

About this map

Prairie Rose Lake serves as a central landmark in this rural Iowa landscape, a man-made reservoir held by the Prairie Rose Lake Dam and surrounded by a network of gravel and paved roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the East Branch West Nishnabotna River and numerous tributaries such as Walnut Creek and Indian Creek. This area maintains a strong agricultural character, illustrated by the strictly gridded road system including Booth ST and York RD. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies small, significant points of interest like the settlement of Rorbeck and quiet burial grounds such as Folck Cemetery and Monroe Cemetery, which provide geographical anchors for family history in the region.
